Answers at bottom of post
1. With the Bible in hand, the author sets off to spend a year attempting to follow the innumerous laws of Scripture in order to achieve the supposed claim of fundamentalists who say the Bible should be taken literally.
The Year of Living Biblically
Are You Sure I'm Not in Hell?
This Damn Well Better Have Been Worth it, God
Year Without Sin: I’ll never frigging do that again!
I’ll Be Damned: Eating shrimp and other crimes of moral turpitude

2. This book will help readers navigate their way through born-again America, with tips on how to avoid being Left Behind, how to protect oneself against demonic locusts, and how to find a guide to class-action suits and post-Rapture therapy.

3. Sure, the rivers and seas will run with blood, locusts will swarm, mountains will move all over the place, and famine will strike. But for the five billion of us left behind, the post-Rapture world will be a time of opportunity.

5. All about the people known as the Brides of Christ. They wear all-black robes tied with heavy rosary beads and crucifixes that would make any child wince. They cover their heads with vast, winglike hoods. They have no legs but roll along on silent casters. They do not flinch from handing out swift and painful smacks with a switch, cane, or paddle.

I scored one out of five...ouch.
This was fun. I thought some of the fake titles were better than the real ones.
I fell between athiest and agnostic. The Nuns are waiting with rulers.
What's with all the actual titles being derivitives of other "crative" endeavors?
The fake titles WERE better than the real ones. I think.
Some brilliant titles here. I particularly like "Profits for non-Prophets".
wow I got them all wrong except for the one I knew. The fake titles were SO MUCH BETTER!
1 right - Agnostic but I bragged I knew one and I didn't, which just makes me an arrogant, dumb agnostic.
And, the only one I did know, I knew because he was on the Today Show.
I want someone to write 50 stocks sure to take off once the good guys leave. (just in case, I need a back-up plan . . . )
some of these made-up titles were much better. Who names a book "Scary Nuns?" when they could have named it "Get Thee to a Nunnery . . . And Live a Little!"
This was fun. We should do this more often.

I think I know who submitted the beheaded infidel.
Woot, I'm apparently holy. I guessed on all of them.
